商品簡介
As we get better at understanding Asperger's Syndrome (AS) we will get better at finding accommodations or treatment as suitable, and including those with this autism spectrum disorder more often in society. Practitioner Attwood describes the syndrome and how it affects adults and children, the process of diagnosis, the means of making social contacts and developing friendships, methods of dealing with teasing and bullying, theories about how AS works in the mind, the understanding and expression of emotions, special interests, language, cognitive abilities, movement and coordination, sensory sensitivity, life as an adult, psychotherapy and frequently asked questions. Attwood appears to be directing this primarily at professionals and caregivers. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
